At times funny, at times frightening--a fast-paced thriller...

When Sheriff Jeff McQuede's friend, Barry Dawson, tricks him into attending a Bigfoot convention at the small town of Trails' End, he finds the adventure is only beginning. He is soon invited by the head of the research team, Dr. Adam Kurtz, to hike with them into the isolated mountains below Lost Man's Peak where few people ever venture. McQuede immediately notices friction among the members of the team--love triangles, resentment, and greed. Professor Callahan has obtained special funding for the project because of his claim to have encountered Bigfoot in this area, and Dr. Kurtz intends to call him out for being a fraud. The first night out trouble erupts. Ted Weiss insists that he spotted Bigfoot near his camp and tells them he was almost attacked. Is Bigfoot really out there, or is someone perpetuating a carefully-planned hoax? When murder follows, McQuede must solve the biggest case in his career!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bigfoot did it

It's easy to point a finger at someone and blame them for something. This is especially true if that someone isn't there to defend himself. What if that someone couldn't even speak? Well, that's why everyone can point a finger at Bigfoot! Is there even a bigfoot to blame? What is going on at the remote site where everyone thinks Bigfoot is hiding? Murder is one very real thing. Enjoyable read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Would Bigfoot Commit Murder?
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2020

Blame it on Bigfoot is the tenth book in Loretta Jackson’s and Vickie Britton’s The High Country Series, featuring the adventures of Sheriff Jeff McQuede. In this novel, McQuede is tricked by friend Barry Dawson to attend a Bigfoot convention in Trail’s End, Wyoming, a small town at the edge of Shoshone National Forest.

After the convention, the sheriff is invited by Dr. Adam Kurtz to join his research team to hike into the mountains below Lost Man’s Peak in search of Bigfoot. Unfortunately, the team of researchers aren’t on the same page, causing friction amongst team members. McQuede immediately detects a love triangle, grudges, and greed.

One member of the team, Professor Neil Callahan, an expert on anthropology and archaeology, obtained special funding for the project based on his claim to have previously encountered Bigfoot in the area of Los Man’s Peak. Dr. Kurtz agrees to lead the team in order to prove Callahan a fraud.

Ted Weiss, a game hunter, claims Bigfoot is definitely in the area because the beast came close to attacking him the first night out. However, Sheriff McQuede is skeptical about the Bigfoot claims and suspects someone is perpetuating a hoax. Then, one day, a team member is murdered and McQuede is sure about one thing—Bigfoot didn’t do it.

Author’s Loretta Jackson and Vickie Britton present a thrilling mystery in the backdrop of the rugged scenic beauty of Wyoming. The writers have a strong plot with twists and surprises along the way that will keep mystery lovers at the edge of their seats.

Though the novel is plot driven, I would have liked to have seen more elaborate descriptions of beautiful Shoshone National Forest. The characters are fleshed out nicely, enabling readers to develop a relationship with the research team. However, deciding who is committing murder is difficult to discern, for too many people have a motive.

Blame it on Bigfoot is a fun read providing readers an escape from the confines of their homes to visit the rugged terrain of northwest Wyoming.

Starts with mystery destination, then introduces big foot, then an ascent into mountains by the “research” team, this involves dangerous maneuvers, fold in academics, hard core big foot hunters, inexperienced whining young adults and the Sheriff just here for his friend and it is a great read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining mystery
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2020
Sheriff Jeff McQuede accompanies his friend on an excursion with a group of scientists hunting for Bigfoot. After the first signs of possoble Bigfoot activity show up, one of the group members is found dead. Now McQuedes's hunt is no longer for Bigfoot, which he doubts to exist anyway, but for a real human murderer. Navigating several twists and turns, and with each member of the party having a plausible motive for murder, McQuede has a hard time solving this mystery.

This was quite an entertaining light mystery, though the middle part lost some speed before cranking it up again towards the exciting end. I appreciated that there were several believably described situations that made me actually consider Bigfoot as the possible culprit. But whether Bigfoot really is to blame, you have to find out for yourself! This was my first high country mystery, but it may not be me last...

5.0 out of 5 stars The Mystery of Blame
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2020
When Coal County Sheriff Jeff McQuede accompanies friend Professor Barry Dawson on a mystery trip he discovers a group of eclectic people determined to prove to the world that Bigfoot exists.
At least one person in the group was guilty of a Bigfoot hoax in the past. When a murder occurs, Sheriff McQuede searches for a killer. The others blame it on Bigfoot. And it appears that even the sheriff has a dangerous encounter with what may or may not be the mythological beast.
This mystery is framed in the rugged scenic beauty of Wyoming with all the thrilling twists of mountain ridges. It is also a commentary on modern life: when things go wrong—blame it on Bigfoot.

If the picture of the big hairy on the cover made you think this was a PNR story you may be in for a disappointment. If you like a mystery in a different setting you will like it.
